IncobotulinumtoxinA Injection to Balance Eyebrows and Facial Shapes: A Review with Illustrative Clinical Examples

The eyebrows are a central element of facial harmony, influenced by individual and external factors such as gender, ethnicity, facial shape, age, culture, and fashion trends. Traditional methods for esthetically enhancing eyebrows include plucking, highlighting, and surgical interventions. Another minimally invasive option for altering, thus enhancing eyebrow positioning, is botulinum toxin type A (BoNT-A) injection. The objective was to demonstrate a systematic, customizable approach for BoNT-A injections to reshape and reposition eyebrows according to individual facial shape enhancing balance. To determine optimal BoNT-A dose and injection points, an individualized assessment of facial and eyebrow shape and position was performed, leading to a customized protocol of neurotoxin injections according to each patient's needs. The assessment method aims for the best match between the individual facial shape and eyebrow form and position. This technique enables individualized modulation of eyebrow position and shape, improving facial balance while addressing dynamic upper facial rhytides, thereby promoting harmonious outcomes that preserve individual facial characteristics and providing an additional approach to conventional eyebrow enhancement techniques.
